Sources close to the star, who is most notable for her role in the musical film Grease, revealed that the 73-year-old passed away: “After a 30-year cancer journey, she lost her battle to metastatic breast cancer.” In an official statement posted by her husband, John Easterling, Newton-John was at peace at her Ranch in Southern California this morning “surrounded by family and friends”. The star had previously revealed that the breast cancer she first had in 1992 had returned in 2017, this time spreading to her spine.
